jacked to a position for the proper operation of same, the main object of the device being to provide a mounting which may be ad-' justed not only lengthwise to its face, but also laterally.

Another object resides in the simple and demountable construction of the device whereby the same may be mounted within a short period of time and packed in an area of small compass.

Other very novel objects and advantages of the device will become apparent as the same is better understood from'the specification and claims to follow.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of our improved adjustable spooling device, and v Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view disclosing the means for adjusting the spool laterally. 7

Now for a more detail description of our invention, we now refer to the: drawings in which like numerals designate like parts. Apair of elongated base bars 1 connected together in a suitable manner not shown in the drawing, each of saidbars being formed with an elongated opening in the top intermediate portion thereof, in which is disposedv a wear resistlng block 2, prefer- 'ably ofmetal, or any other durable mate-.

40 rial. The top sur face of the wear resisting block is formed with a curvilineal recess '3. Adapted for supported position upon each of the wear resisting blocks 2, and within the 5 curvilineal recess 3, is the lower.' curved end portion of a standard 4, the intermediate longitudinal portion of the standard 4 be ing open as at 5, while the upper end of the standard is formed with a vertically extendingthreaded bore communicating with the opening 5 from the top edge of the,

standard-K I p At opposed edge portions of the standard, eyelet members 6 are secured, in which the hooked end portion 7 of turn buckle devices ed position.

8 engage. The lower'hookedendportions of the respective turn buckle devices engage in -PATENT omE.,j;

respective eye members 9, located vadjacent the respective end portions of therespective elongated base bars- By tightening-theturn buckle at one edge of the standard, and untightening the other turn buckle, the standard lamay be tilted to the proper adjust-' Adapted forthreaded relation through the vertically extending threaded bars, at the top portion of the respective standards, is" an elongated screw .10. The lower-extremity of the respective screws are adapted for depending. relation within the opening 5, while .the' upper end of the same isreduced and has swiveled thereon the bearing 11.

Thebearing plate 11 is provided with ear i projectionslZ, the respective bearing plates being formed with a curved recess in which the shaft 13 of the usual spool 14 is adapted to bear. To retain the. shaft 13 against accidental displacement from-the recesses in the respective bearing plates, a curvilineal strap member 15 is adapted to be disposed over the shaft in a manner shown clearly in Fig. 1 of the drawing, and having its respective end portions projecting through the ear members 12, and secured therein in place by suitable detachable means 16. Directly below the bearing plate, 'a transverse bore is formed in the screw 10, through which a turn bar 17 is disposed;

In employing our spooling device upon I sloping ground, the. same may lie-adjusted ever, when the shaft is transverse to the dito a position, whereby the shaft of the spool i will regain its horizontal position; Howrection of the] slope, then the upstanding I standards 4 may be adjusted in angular relation to the basebars 1, whereby the same will be properly supported, and the liability that the same will tilt over is materially lessened.

Having thus described our invention, What we claim as new is 1. In an adjustable spooling device, a pair of base bars, each of said base bars being formed with a curved recess intermediate its length, a pair of upstanding supports having their lower respective ends curved and engageable in the curved recess of the base bar, construction at the top of each support for rotatably supporting a spool, and means at opposed sides of-the respective supports of base bars, each ofsaid base bars being formed with a recess a block of wear resisting material disposed within sald recess,

said block being formed with a curved retures.

cess in the top surface thereof, an upstanding support on each of said base bars, the lower end portion of saidsupport being curved and engageable in thevcurved recess of the block, construction at the top of each support for supporting a spool, and means at each side of the respective supports in connection with the respective base bars whereby the;

support may be adjusted to an angular position in respect to said base bars.

In testimony whereof We afiix our signa- JOHN EARL WALLACE. HARRY BERNHARDT OARLSON.
